Lang Wuxu sneered and said: "This is naturally Duke An's scheming. Every time the account is reconciled, Hu Bufan's account book will be handed over to An Guogong. The meaning of stamping the fingerprint is to confirm that the account book is indeed from Hu Bufan. Hands, although they claim that they will check the ledgers and then burn them, but... hehe, I don’t think they will be destroyed. These ledgers with Hu Bufan’s handprints are actually held in the hands of Lord An. The sharp weapon in Hu Bufan's throat, Hu Bufan has no other way to go, he can only be at the mercy of An Guogong." After a pause, he said: "An Guogong's servants have always used both kindness and power, not only will they bring great benefits to his officials Hu Bufan must also know that the account book may not be destroyed, but since he is under Anguogong's subordinates, he can only act according to Anguogong's wishes."

"So that's the case." Chu Huan understood, thought for a while, and asked again: "Who is the Xuanzhen Taoist sect you are talking about?"

"That's the Taoist sect of Sitiantai." Lang Wuxu explained: "Taoist Priest Xuanzhen is the head of the Dao of Longevity. He entered the palace four years ago and healed the illness of the Holy Majesty...!" Seeing Chu Huan frowned, Seemingly puzzled, he said: "You don't know. Four years ago, when Sheng was hunting last time, he suddenly fell off his horse. He was unable to speak and was unconscious for several days. The situation at that time was very dangerous. The imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital They were at a loss, so Grand Master Xu Congyang Xu came up with an idea and asked people to post a list to find a doctor. After a few days after the list was posted, Taoist Xuanzhen recommended himself into the palace. After taking it, all the illnesses of the Holy Majesty will be cured. Taoist Xuanzhen saved the Holy Majesty, and naturally he was highly regarded by the Holy Majesty. He stayed in the palace for a few days. I heard that Taoist Xuanzhen was talking about the way of longevity to the Holy One during those days Within half a month, the Holy Majesty set up Sitiantai and named Xuanzhen the Daoist of Sitiantai." Having said this, he sighed softly: "Since then, Xuanzhen Daozong has become the most important thing that the Holy Majesty relies on. People, since ancient times, the imperial palace has been a forbidden place, but for the first time, the Holy Majesty has set the Purple Jade Palace as the Sitiantai Yamen. Xuanzhen Daozong led a group of Taoists to serve the Holy Majesty in the Ziyu Palace, and the Holy Majesty has since then, So I began to devote myself to cultivating the Tao and seeking longevity."

In fact, Chu Huan has long known that the emperor favors Taoist priests and devotes himself to cultivating Taoism, but he has never understood why His Majesty the Emperor, who was very good at martial arts, suddenly abandoned state affairs and devoted himself to Taoism when the empire was prosperous and prosperous. ?

Hearing what Lang Wuxu said today, he vaguely understood the reason.

The emperor's practice of Taoism was actually caused by an accident.

Hunting fell off his horse, and he couldn't get sick. For His Majesty the Emperor, it must have made him rethink the subject of life afterwards. He has ruled the battlefield, ruled the world, and achieved great achievements in martial arts. Looking at the world, he His life has reached the peak, power is incomparable, money and beautiful women are at his fingertips, and at that point, there are very few things he pursues.

Falling off the horse and hurting the emperor must have dealt a heavy blow to the emperor. Xuanzhen Daozong appeared at the right time and used the pills refined by Taoism to make the emperor recover quickly. The conversation with the emperor naturally involved the way of longevity that Taoism pursued, and that For a moment, the emperor's life finally has the ultimate pursuit of longevity that can arouse his enthusiasm again!

Although Chu Huan couldn't be sure of the emperor's mentality, he believed that the reason why the emperor practiced Taoism was probably the same.

Seeing that Chu Huan was silent, Lang Wuxu didn't know what Chu Huan was thinking, so he called out softly, Chu Huan came back to his senses, and finally smiled and said: "Master Minister, once you succeed this time, you will bring down Hu Bufan's greatest enemy." The hero is you, and King Qi will naturally trust your loyalty."

Lang Wuxu frowned and said, "Lord Chu, don't you really want to get the red and silver book?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's a great opportunity, why don't you seize it?"

The corners of Lang Wuxu's eyes twitched, and he waved his hand and said, "Master Chu, I also had a sudden idea today, but after thinking about it carefully, it is almost impossible to get the red and silver book. You know the reason even if I don't tell you "Come closer and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and if we want to bring down Hu Bufan, we have to continue to wait for the opportunity!"

"Master Shi Lang thinks this is impossible?" Chu Huan smiled and said, "But I believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait another half a year for the next opportunity!"

Lang Wuxu saw that although Chu Huan was smiling, but his expression was very serious, he was surprised and said: "Chu... Brother Chu, you won't... won't you really prepare to do something?" He grabbed Chu Huan's hand and said nervously: "Very little, little hope!"

Chu Huan still smiled, and said in a low voice: "Things seem really difficult, but with Mr. Shi Lang, things are much simpler."

Lang Wuxu hurriedly said: "Brother Chu Xian, it's not that I don't help, I... I also know about this matter. In fact, I can't do it, and neither can Wu. It's hard to help in other places."

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "Your Minister is humble. This time, without the help of His Excellency, it will never be possible." Yan Yue said softly: "This time, I would like to assist Your Minister to do a great thing!"

Lang Wuxu was shocked. Hearing what Chu Huan said, he seemed to be the one to take the lead in this matter.

"Master Minister and Hu Bufan have always been close, so there are some things that Sir Minister needs to point out." Chu Huan said in a low voice: "Master Minister must know the topography of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion."

"This...!" Lang Wuxu began to hesitate.

"There must be guards in the House of Minister of the Household Department. Does the servant know the time of duty inside? Do you know some of Hu Bufan's daily habits?" Chu Huan's expression became serious: "Outside the House of Minister of the Household Department, there are patrols on the streets. How is the situation? How are the guards deployed in the mansion? In addition, I need to ask Mr. Shi Lang to draw a map, a topographic map of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, which must be detailed without any omissions!"

Lang Wuxu's eyes flashed: "Brother Chu Xian, do you mean to sneak into the Minister's Mansion to steal the red and silver book?" Feeling that his words were a bit inappropriate, he hurriedly said: "You have to think twice? This... this is too hasty , even if you know this, what's the use if you don't know where the red and silver book is? You don't know where the red and silver book is, everything is in vain!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and the voice of the blind man came: "My lord, the masters of the household department have arrived!"

Chu Huan responded, and said: "First, invite some adults to have tea in the living room!" He lowered his voice and said to Lang Wuxu: "Master Minister, the arrow is on the string, and I have to send it. I need your help this time!"

……

……

Wang Fu and others worked very hard for Chu Huan, and the elegant hall was decorated in a very grand style. The four household judges were sitting in the elegant hall at this time, and tea had already been served.

It was the first time they went to the mansion, and they only saw a few burly men serving them. It was a little strange. After all, Chu Huan was the head of the fourth-rank household department. It was very strange that there were no maids at home. Buying a girl in Beijing doesn't actually cost much money.

A few people drank tea, still a little restrained, they didn't talk much at first, and then they started to talk about some old things about the old owner of the mansion, Mr. Yan of the Imperial College.

After waiting for too long, Chu Huan came out first, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, and I have been waiting for some time to drink tea with Mr. Lang. Don't blame everyone!"

Everyone stood up one after another, not even saying they didn't dare, they all took the prepared gifts and presented them, Chu Huan repeatedly said: "You are too polite, I need you to take care of me in the future, and I am sorry to make you spend money!" But he didn't refuse, and signaled the blind man to accept the gift, and then he divided the guests and the host and sat down, saying: "The house is shabby, I made you laugh at me. There is no cook in the house, so I can't neglect you, so I ordered food and drinks from an outside restaurant, everyone don't like it." dislike!"

"What are you talking about, my lord?" A judge said with a smile: "Your family is very poor, and you are really a role model for my generation!"

Everyone echoed.

"Master Shi Lang is still making tea by himself." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Let's chat first, and wait for Master Shi Lang to come over. There will be no singing or dancing tonight, but I want to get together with you, so I eagerly invite you over , when the cooks in the mansion are ready, we will invite you all to come over to the humble house for a gathering. The most important thing today is to drink a lot, we have to get drunk!"

When the judges saw Chu Huan and Yan Yuese, they all smiled and nodded, and someone said: "I haven't seen your lord's drinking capacity, and I'm about to learn it today!"

There was a lot of chatting and laughing in the elegant hall. When the conversation was in full swing, Lang Wuxu finally came in sweaty, and everyone hurriedly saluted. Lang Wuxu glanced at Chu Huan nervously, quickly concealed his nervousness, and returned the salute to everyone. Today he has the highest official position, so naturally he is in a higher position, and the restaurant has already delivered the food and wine.

The wine delivered today is considered to be the first-class quality wine in the capital, and the price is very expensive. There are actually several large jars, all of which are ten catties in size.

The coachman and entourage who came with several judges were arranged to another courtyard, accompanied by Wang Fu and two Wu Jingwei.

Lang Wuxu seemed to have something on his mind, but he is also a person who has experienced the world, but he concealed it very well. After a while, the audience began to drink and laugh.

On weekdays, everyone had very little personal relationship with Chu Huan, but today at the wine table, they discovered that Chu Huan was making witty remarks. Many things he said were very fresh, and the wine order he initiated was also very strange.

After drinking for three rounds, the eyes of several judges started to straighten when they spoke, and their faces were flushed. Chu Huan seemed to be drunk. There was snoring on the wine table.

Lang Wuxu was a little surprised, and said in a low voice: "Judge Sun doesn't seem to be bad at drinking, why did he get drunk so quickly?"

Chu Huan originally looked drunk, as if he was about to fall down at any time, but after the four judges passed out one by one, the blurred look in his eyes began to become clear, and he smiled softly, saying: "Sometimes you want to let others It's not difficult to get drunk!" Asked the blind man who had been waiting by the side, "What time is it?"

"It's almost past time!"

Lang Wuxu smiled, grabbed Lang Wuxu's arm, and said with a smile: "Master Lang, let's go to the back and have a cup of tea together, sober up!" Without any explanation, he pulled Lang Wuxu to the back, but Lang Wuxu hadn't reacted yet However, the white blind man had already grabbed Lang Wuxu's arms from behind. Lang Wuxu only felt that his arms were tied up by ropes, his expression changed drastically, and he struggled: "Chu Huan, Chu... Brother Chu Xian , what are you going to do?"

"My lord servant, what happened tonight is no small matter. Chu is going to gamble with his life!" Chu Huan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, saw the blind man tie up Lang Wuxu, and then went to pick up the tea on the table. Zhang opened the rolled-up map, looked at it, and asked: "Master Shi Lang, is this the topographic map of Shangshu Mansion? Are you drawing it right?"

Lang Wuxu said with a sullen face, "Brother Chu Xian, I don't know what you mean? Why did you tie me up? You haven't untied the rope yet."

"I have wronged Mr. Minister, the rope will be untied, but not now." Chu Huan looked at the topographic map in his hand, his eyes were like lightning: "Tonight is a success, and Mr. Minister has a bright future in the future, otherwise...hehe, if Chu misses, It is very likely that my life will not be guaranteed, and the servant will never watch my brother and I go on the road alone?"

Lang Wuxu's face was pale, and he said in shock: "Brother Chu Xian, you... what are you doing, let's talk if we have something to say, you... don't do stupid things!" He bound Lang Wuxu's hands three times and two times, pressed him on the chair very rudely, took a thicker rope, and tied him to the chair again.

Chu Huan didn't answer Lang Wuxu's words first, but just kept the map in his heart. The Hubu Shangshu's house is not small, and thanks to the close relationship between Lang Wuxu and Hu Bufan, he knew Hu Bufan very well, and he went to Hu Bufan countless times. The topography of the Shangshu Mansion is clearly marked on the map. Chu Huan looked at it for a moment, rolled up the map, put it in his pocket, and then walked up to Lang Wuxu and asked, "Master Minister, are you sure?" Is this picture accurate?"

Lang Wuxu didn't expect that Chu Huan's expression was a little ugly when he came back, and he said "um", looking very dissatisfied.

"So there must be nothing wrong with what your lord said to the subordinate just now?" Chu Huan asked softly, "There will be no mistakes during the shift, and that Hu Shangshu likes to dance swords under the moon?"

Lang Wuxu smiled wryly and said: "Of course not, brother Chu Xian, you still can't trust me? I really want to be loyal to King Qi. You treat me like this, which really chills me!"

"My lord, don't be offended." Chu Huan said solemnly: "It's about my life, so I have to be careful. After tonight, if what my lord said is correct, then from now on, my lord will guarantee that King Qi will trust my lord." Incomparable, but if what the lord said is wrong...!" He glanced at the blind man, who had a grim expression, and he had already pulled out a dagger, and put it on Lang Wuxu's neck, and heard Chu Huan say calmly. : "Then Chu Huan can't come back, and my lord can't go out either!"
